From the time I bought my patriot, it would experience instances of slow acceleration. I took it in a couple times and they found nothing. On june 11, 2016, I had been driving around 65 MPH on I-285 and experienced some hesitation. I exited 285 to I-20 and then on to surface roads. I stopped at the kroger. As I parked the stability control, throttle sensor and check engine light came on. I turned to drive to the dealership and it wouldn't accelerate. They put the pod on it and it showed bad sensor. The guy said it was possibly the throttle body. I was able to drive home but it was still doing the same thing. I brought it back on june 13 and left it with them. On june 14, they said the diagnostic showed high air flow/vacuum leak and the throttle body needed replacing. I researched online and found three other instances of the same symptoms with the same repairs. This has got to be a known issue and why hasn't chrysler done something?
